Above photo may be the "Black Moors Head." Circa 1950.

Above photos kindly supplied by Michael Reader, who has possession of the above bottle that says "Black Moors Head, Rochester" on the side, and licensee J T Snell, circa 1890s.

I believe the pub was demolished in the 1960s to make space for the new Police Station.
